Give the Gift of Life - Donate Blood
The need for blood is constant. The American Red Cross of Southwestern Indiana is the primary supplier of blood in the tri-state.
The shelf life of blood is very limited. And because it can't be stockpiled, there's a constant need for fresh donations. How great is the demand? Every two seconds a patient needs blood. We must collect at least 650 units a day to meet the need for our hospital patients in nineteen hospitals in southwestern Indiana, Illinois and Kentucky. With a demand this great, it's easy to see how your own regular donation can make such a differenceespecially considering that only 8 percent of Americans give blood. When you donate, you're joining Red Cross blood donors who understand just how important giving blood really is.
By giving blood you are a hero in so many ways. Your donation can help to save lives.
